The Intentional Stance Test-2: How to Measure the Tendency to Adopt Intentional Stance Towards Robots [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
In human-robot interactions, people tend to attribute to robots mental states such as intentions or desires, in order to make sense of their behaviour. This cognitive strategy is termed “intentional stance”. Adopting the intentional stance influences how

Re-imaging the intentional stance. [PDF]

open access: hybridProc Biol Sci, 2020
The commonly used paradigm to investigate Dennet's ‘intentional stance’ compares neural activation when participants compete with a human versus a computer. This paradigm confounds whether the opponent is natural or artificial and whether it is intentional or an automaton. This functional magnetic resonance imaging study is, to our knowledge, the first

Social robots and the intentional stance [PDF]

open access: greenBehavioral and Brain Sciences, 2023
Abstract Why is it that people simultaneously treat social robots as mere designed artefacts, yet show willingness to interact with them as if they were real agents? Here, we argue that Dennett's distinction between the intentional stance and the design stance can help us to resolve this puzzle, allowing us to further our understanding of social ...

Understanding the Unforeseen via the Intentional Stance [PDF]

open access: green2024 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance (AVSS), 2022
We present an architecture and system for understanding novel behaviors of an observed agent. The two main features of our approach are the adoption of Dennett's intentional stance and analogical reasoning as one of the main computational mechanisms for understanding unforeseen experiences.

Realism, Instrumentalism, and the Intentional Stance* [PDF]

open access: bronzeCognitive Science, 1985
One of Dennett's principal arguments for an instrumentalistic construal of intentional attributions (e.g., attributions of belief, etc.) is that such attributions are environment relative. I argue that one can and should adopt a realist perspective toward such attributions, but accommodate their environmental relativity by treating intentional ...
